What are the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic fabric?

Acrylic fiber is a synthetic fiber fabric, and its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

Advantages of acrylic fabric: acrylic fabric has similar properties to wool, and its elasticity even exceeds that of wool, and it has a good rebound rate under the condition of large stretching. Acrylic fiber is fluffy, soft and warm, and is known as "synthetic wool".

High strength is also one of the advantages of acrylic fabric. The strength of acrylic fabric is kept between 22. 1 ~ 48.5 CN/dtex, which has exceeded the strength of wool. Acrylic fabrics exposed to the sun for a long time will not have any problems. The structure of fiber determines the characteristics of acrylic fabric. The data show that the strength of acrylic fabric decreases by 20% after being exposed to the sun for one year, so the life of acrylic fabric is generally longer. In addition to sun resistance, acrylic fiber also has the characteristics of acid resistance and oxidation resistance, which makes clothes easier to maintain.

2. Disadvantages of acrylic fabric: it is acid-resistant and alkali-resistant, so you can't use alkaline cleaning solution when washing, acrylic fiber has poor hygroscopicity and poor comfort after wearing. Pilling is also a major disadvantage of acrylic fabric, which will seriously affect the appearance of the fabric.

Matters needing attention in selecting fabrics

1. When choosing a suitable fabric, you need to choose according to your personal needs and seasons. If it is summer, you can choose hemp fabric or cotton fabric with good permeability and strong hygroscopicity; In winter, you can choose wool fabrics with good thermal insulation performance; In some special cases, you can also choose chemical fiber fabrics; For example, do exercise or wear clothes that are easy to clean and keep clean.

2. In addition, the fabric needs to be selected according to the purpose of the clothes. If it is sportswear, you need to choose fabrics with good elasticity and breathability; If it is professional wear, you need to choose wear-resistant and easy-to-care fabrics; If it is a home service, you can choose soft and comfortable fabrics.

Besides, we also need to pay attention to the quality of fabrics. Good fabric quality can not only ensure comfort, but also prolong the life of clothing. You can judge the quality of the fabric by touching it and checking its density, thread end and color fastness.
